I bought a device like this, which allows measuring the power consumption of electrical devices.
It's very useful, but it only display current consumption, while I'd like to be able to track some sort of daily graph. Unfortunately, any power-logger I find on internt costs hunderds or thousands of dollars, while this one costs around 40$.
So I thought: as it displays data on an LCD, could it be possible to attach a PIC circuit to it to decode numbers and store them as I prefer?
